Thank you.

I haven’t personally seen or read anything that shows definitive accuracy issues by not “breaking in” a new barrel. So, generally I just shoot it with however many rounds I brought that particular day. Also, I believe you will not see the actual accuracy of a barrel till it fouls up properly. What I usually do with a new barrel is to shoot how ever many rounds I brought then, clean it really well at home base. The next few range trips after that get no cleaning till I see the accuracy falling off. I will run a bore snake through it every now and then though.

Convince me otherwise and I might listen. [emoji16]
